A gathering of the Niah clan at the wedding reception of ichit Aki Pasang

Last nite, 28 Dec 2007, was indeed a gathering of the Niah clan comprising amongst others, the anak, menantu, uchu and ichit of Aki Pasang, Ini Sudan and Aki Narang, and kaban belayan of Rh Daud, Niah. The occasion was the wedding of Phylis Gali, eldest daughter of Gali Raing from Banting and Rosaline Nangan ak Ngumbang, the eldest grand daughter of the late Aki TR Pasang.Rosaline Nangan is my 2nd cousin, her Aki Pasang is my grandma Sudan's brother.

The wedding was held at Marriot, Miri and dadi, Igat and I left Bintulu at mid morning and stopped over at Dut's in Niah for lunch. These were what we had for lunch - daun ubi guring, pansuh keli, tunu keli, upak kechala, chabi guring gulai belachan.. semua nyamai magang.. Pi and Met, anang meliur seduai meda au...

We set off for Miri at about 2.00 pm and checked into the Marriot.Baka nuan aku Pi, sama bc tamagotchi to feed, 2 huge ones, so we went to look for some place to have tea b4 going to the saloon. I wasn't keen on Coffee Bean, we've had more than enough cakes for Christmas, so Igat made the choice, we went to McD.. dadi and I had banana pies with coffee and Igat, apple pie and ice lemon tea. I smsed Sebugey and she was at a hair saloon somewhere .. dadi and I headed to Alan & Serina at Bintang Plaza and had our hair wash and in my case, ngaga tansang manyi mimit ba belakang, ngambi buok enda flat... I was not satisfied with the results though, pama agi enti aku blow ke diri ku aku...

Udah nya berumban-rumban pulai mandi and begari. Sida Dut,Lily & Sebugey ngelagu aku meda aku enda tumu datai, kumbai sida ia ka tama ballroom sereta enggau bride & groom. But we got there a good 15 minutes b4 the function was supposed to start and here are some of the pictures we took of the happy occasion.
